White Pine Inn Site Of Graduation Banquet
Bethel Male Chorus is making plans for a tour of Pacific Coast
states beginning May 29. The 22-voice chorus will take three weeks to
complete the trip which will begin with a concert at Spokane, Washing-ton
and finish in San Diego, California on June 15.
The chorus will be assisted in its concert program by Mr. Valdeko
Kangro and Mr. Kaljo Raid who will present selections on violin and
cello. Also participating in the program will be the Courier Male Quartet,
Bob Mantzke, baritone soloist, and an instrumental trio composed of Don
Peterson, Dave Englund and Elmin Forsell. Al Anthony is the accompanist.
Under the direction of Mr. Nels Stjernstrom, the chorus will give
a varied program of sacred numbers and spirituals including "To Thee
We Sing", "Onward Ye People", "Den Store Hvide Flok", and Fred
Waring's arrangement of "Onward Christian Soldiers."
This will be the first year that a chorus has taken a tour in the
summer and the trip also represents the first visit to the West Coast
by any Bethel choir. Dates have not been definitely set but the tour
will include the following cities and towns:
Spokane, Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma, Washington; Warren
and Portland, Oregon; Oakland, San Francisco, Turlock, Kingsburg, Los
Angeles, Pasadena, Yucaipa and San Diego, California.
Generous Bethelites Give Over
Five Hundred Articles of Clothing
The articles acquired during the collection for Mr. Chanco's jungle
school, are a material monument to the generosity of Bethelites. Many
items in perfect condition evidenced a sacrifice on the part of the givers.
Approximately 300 pieces of women's apparel were donated, includ-ing
skirts, sweaters, blouses, dresses, suits and numerous articles of
underclothing. From Bethel men came 250 or more shirts, trousers, sport
coats and jackets.
Seniors to Retreat to
Wood Lake on Mon. ;
Class. of '49 to Go Also
Wood Lake, Wisconsin will be
the scene of the annual retreat of
the Seminary Senior Class' this
year. The members of the class
of 1949 will be joining with this
years graduating class and their
families for this event on May 8, 9.
A guest speaker will lead in
periods of Biblical discussion and
devotional meditation. The remain-der
of the time will be spent in
various forms of recreation.
Prof. Compton of Macalester
To Be Main Speaker of Evening
A viHt to the White Pine Inn at Bayport, Minnesota is convincing
e.lou•h That this year's graduation banquet will be the best yet. With
Hoe tree surroundings and quaint interior, the Inn is most inviting.
Lail t in a colonial style, the White Pine Inn is a landmark near the
of the St. Croix river and is picturesque with its white pillared
oce . ch.
The program for next Friday evening will find Professor Bruce
Compton of the philosophy depart-ment
of Macalester College as the
speaker. He has been used by the
Inter-varsity groups in the state
and is of intellectual and spiritual
acclaim.
Bob Mantzke's quartette includ-ing
Bob, Ted Van Der Veer, Jack
Anderson and Bill Anderson will
be providing special music for in-spiration
and entertainment. The
banquet committee has given their
assurance that the program will
cease, allowing ample time for ex-tra-
J. S. activities before the dorm
deadline rolls around.
Fine cooperation has been re-ceived
from Mr. Jim Olson, mana-ger
of the White Pine Inn. The Inn
can be found by following Highway
36 east to Bayport. Watch for the
billboard with further directions as
to where to make a right turn
which can be taken directly to the
front door of the White Pine Inn.
Ample parking space is near the
entrance.
Tennessee Evangelist
to Speak at Commencement
Baccalaureate in College Chapel
with Rev. Thompson Speaking May 21
Dr. Robert G. Lee, a distinguished author, pastor, and evangelist
of Memphis, Tennessee will deliver the commencement address to the
1950 graduating classes on Friday, May 26.
On the preceding Sunday, Rev. Lester Thompson of Muskegon,
Michigan will give the baccalaure-ate
sermon in the College Chapel.
The commencement exercises
this year are being held at the
First Baptist Church of Minne-apolis
starting at 7:30 P.M. A half
hour musical featuring the Eston-ian
musicians, Valdeko Kangro.
and Kaijo Raid, with Dr. Howard .
Smith at the pipe organ will pre-ceed
the graduation exercises. The
procession of the graduating class-es
will follow at 8 o'clock. During
the graduation Bethel's three
choral groups, the Male Chorus, the
Girls Chorus, and the Chapel Choir
will sing. The presentation of the
degrees will follow the main ad-dress
by Dr. Robert G. Lee.
President Wingblade thought the
school was very fortunate in se-curing
Dr. Robert Lee. Due to his
v ery busy schedule he will be fly- .
ing both to and from the Cities
in order to make this engagement.
The baccalaureate service at
4:00 P.M. on May 21, will be held
in the College Chapel. The Chapel
Choir will render special music at

There will be a social hour fol-lowing
the service in the dining
hall.
Top Six Seniors
To Be Guests At
Court of Honor
Bethel's top six Senior honor
students, the President and other
representatives will be guests at
the Court of Honor Banquet spon-sored
by the St. Paul Junior Cham-ber
of Commerce on Monday, May
15 at the Lowry Hotel.
The Bethel students being hon-ored

Kleinsasser, Ralph Larson, and
Beverly Lewis.
The speaker of the evening will
be Dr. Samuel Nowell Stevens, who
is President of Grinnell College.
All the St. Paul colleges take
part in this event. This is the
second -annual participation for
Bethel since becoming a four year
college.
Bethel Experiments
Still an experimental occasion,
the game night scheduled for Sat-urday
evening, if successful may
become a weekly affair next year.
The need for social activities on
Bethel campus will thus be taken
care of for the week-end of May 6.
An active committee, headed by Al
Windham, Hal Lundberg, Ron
Johnson and Lois Redin has ar-ranged
the game night which will
be held in the boys' recreation
room.
The fellowship of that evening
will be informal and is open to the
entire student body. Students are
free to come and go as they wish
between the hours of 8 and 11 p.m.
Games will be provided, such as
volley ball, ping-pong, handball, as
well as the conventional checkers,
monopoly and other games.
About 150 pairs of shoes found
their way into the collection. Cloth-ing
and shoes for infants, plus a
miscellany of purses, scarves, hats,
belts, socks, towels and 12 winter
coats, were also contributed.
In the line of clothing for the
mind, some 50 or more books texts,
and commentaries, 15 Bibles, 25
New Testaments, and perhaps 400
magazines (both sacred and secu-lar),
S. S. lesson leaflets and devo-tional
literature was given.
All this will be packed for ship-ping
in 2x3x4' heavy wooden boxes,
lined with waterproof paper and
shipped before exam time. The
designated 25% of the Missionary
Band surplus offering will pay ship-merit
costs.
The students responsible for or-ganizing
and carrying through this
project are Marilyn • Kortum, Mar-garet
Sheffler, Fred Baty, Marvin
Gunnarson, Mike Malone, Harley
Stuhl and Professor Bohne.
Sem Juniors
and Middlemen
Honor Seniors
Juniors and middlemen of the
Seminary held their annual Spring
Banquet on May 4 in honor of the
graduating senior s. Background
was provided by Dayton's Red
Room.
Earl Van der Veer acted as toast-master
and Dr. Robert Smith of
Dubuque University, Dubuque, Iowa
was the guest speaker. The class
will and prophecy were read. Vocal
soloists for the occasion were Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Bodin. Carol Land-berg
played violin selections.
The tables were attractively de-corated
and the theme of the even-ing
was "To Know Him and To
Make Him Known."

Sounds From the Banquet Hall
by Harold Lind
On the Burner
Merchandise Mart
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY
FOR. In other words, you can't
purchase the best goods at medi-ocre
prices.
But some things are so valuable
that they cannot be evaluated in
money alone. Knowledge is one of
these. And Bethel's business com-modity
is "knowledge FROM A
CHRISTIAN STANDPOINT."
We buy it at the beginning of
each quarter and a conscientious
faculty, believing we mean busi-ness,
comes rain or shine, day after
day to open new avenues of learn-ing
where we may find the Truth
of God and the wisdom of men. -
The cost of a good education is
admittedly high. Yet, we seem bent
upon attending as few classes as
possible and "slipping by" some-bow.
In no other society are peo-ple
so eager to get less than their
money's worth. Illness assails many
at exam time or when a term paper
is due. A bright spring day will
lure others away from four or five
class hours they have already pur-chased.
Some sit in class scarcely
heeding lectures they elected and
paid for a few weeks earlier.
Why illness and lack of driving
power should exist in individuals
filled with the zest and strength
of youth is probably a mystery to
the teaching staff. Whoever heard
of a professor discontinuing an
eight o'clock class so that he could
sleep later in the mornings?
By the way . . . have you cut
classes lately?
Welcome back girls. (A look at
Don Peterson's face was all that
was necessary to inform us that
the Girls' Chorus had arrived.) We
can plainly see (flash, sparkle,
flash!) that the trip proved suc-cessful
as well as profitable for
most of the chorus members. At
least they all acquired third-finger
left hand sparklers, or so it ap-pears.
Aleen Lindquist would say, "We
found everything from smoked her-ring
to diamond rings on the trip."
The girls wore their rings at every
concert, and on one occasion Joan
Everburg was gently stroking her
hair in order that she might "show
off" her diamond, when suddenly
she looked down at her hand and
noticed that the stone was gone.
That "shows to go" that accidents
can be embarrassing at the right
times.
Nels Stjernstrom, always willing
to have fun, bought a diamond, to-o.
Now he uses his left hand pre-dominantly
for directing. All these
"genuine" gems caused no little as-tonishment
among churches visited
on the tour. IMAGINE that many
Bethel girls engaged! But then,
with 25 or so Bethelite weddings
scheduled for this summer, maybe,
it isn't so hard to imagine, after
all.
A week from today is the biggest
event of the entire school year.
There's no student too "broke" to
miss the J.S. Banquet. Fella, give
that gal a break. She'd like to go.
It's up to you to ask her.
The Speech Banquet was held
last Friday night at the Hospitality
House in Minneapolis,. with Louis
Nelson as the Toastmaster. We had
a word of prayer and then sat
down to a delicious meal, topped
off with fresh apple pie.
An after-dinner speech by Harold
Lind was the first thing on the
porgram. He remarked that Louis
Nelson was playing ball the other
Notes and Noise
on the
Chapel Choir Trip
by Jim Hubbard
Six states in ten days!—that's
what faced the energetic Bethelites
who boarded a Greyhound bus the
morning of April 14. Designated as
the Bethel Chapel Choir, they were
ready to leave on a concert tour
which would take them through
Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colora-do,
South Dakota and back to Min-nesota.
The bus driver, Wayne
Quinn and his trusty bus were to
be the medium of acomplishment.
It seems that in every choir
there are those certain individuals
that make things move continuous-ly.
Bob Stassen„ his red, bright red,
sombrero and his plastic ukelele
seemed to be the pivot point of all
the mischief and merry-making on
the trip. From early morning (and
early it was, for on some mornings
it was necessary to arise at 4:30
or 5 a.m.) to late afternoon, all
that was heard above the growl of
the dog, (Greyhound, that is) was
the twang of a certain out-of-tune
ukelele and the twang of a certain
out-of-tune supposedly bass voice.
Very often other stellar voices
would join in until the din was al-most
deafening. When it came to
high class music it was the Boo-wah
boys that brought down the
house. This is a group composed of
Gordy Berg, Deane Shaffer, Jim
Young, Bob Stassen, Ron Johnson,
and Paul Thompson, etc. Several
of the young men of the choir grac-ed
their already handsome selves
with a variety of straw and felt
hats.
Little Audrey Eckdahl made
a hit with her renditions of a
certain aria from the opera, "La
Traviata." Marianne Ostrom loved
to paint throats and became quite
an expert with all the experience
that she had on the trip. In most
every town that the choir stopped,
Charlie Lindberg was found talk-ing
to some new girl, especially in
Denver. Jo Ann Johnson has an
aspiration to be a bubble. Claryce
Skoog got the fattest letters while
on tour. Have you met Paul "Hy-man
Malmstein" Thompson yet—?
Many things happened on this trip
that each member will remember
for years to come. Nicknames,
jokes, etc. . . . all things worked
together to give the choir a won-derful
trip.
Above all was the spiritual bles-sing
of the trip. The morning de-votions
with the pastors of the
churches, the quiet time on the
bus, the half-hour prayer service
be fore• each concert, the fellow-ship
around the dinning table, and
the fellowship in the Christian
homes that were visited, were all
places where the choir was streng-thened
spiritually. The Lord has
blessed the Chapel Choir. The
Chapel Choir has been a blessing
singing in the churches and places
where it has ministered in song.
Therefore we can say that because
the choir was blessed and a bless-ing
the tour of 1950 was a success.
day, got hit on the head with a
baseball and was taken to the hos-pital.
The next day the reports
was in the paper as follows: St.
Paul: While playing ball on Bethel
College and Seminary field, Louis
Nelson got struck by a ball on the
right temple that knocked him
cold. He was taken to Midway
hospital. X-ray pictures of Louis'
head showed nothing."
Next on the program was Henry
Nelson who gave an oration on
"Displaced Persons." Of course you
know what Oratery is: ORATORY
IS THE ART OF MAKING DEEP
NOISES FROM THE CHEST
SOUND LIKE IMPORTANT MES-SAGES
FROM THE BRAIN."
Then Wendell Anderson gave a
short speech and told us how
"Nine out of ten women think
'counterattack' has something to
do with a bargin sale." He went
on to tell us that when Louis
Nelson was born, the stork that
brought him was given a ticket for
peddling dope.
Then an impromptu debate fol
lowed, on the topic: "Resolved
That A Tunnel System Be Con-structed
On Bethel Campus Con-necting
the Buildings." The affir-mative
team were Mr. Schultz and
Bob Daley. The negative team con-sisted
of Mr. Berntsen. and Curtis
Johnson.
The affirmative contended that
their program would be practical in
reducing the colds on the campus.
They said that at the present when
a student approached a pond on
our campnus, he either swims,
drowns or turns back. With the
proposed elaberate tunnel program
this time of indecision could be
reduced and spent in thinking
about that next exam they have to
cram for. Furthermore, they sug-gested
that there be a door at both
ends of the tunnel mainly for the
purpose of keeping fellows out of
the draft, thereby keeping more
fellows here at Bethel.
In rebuttal, the negative stated
the program would be impossible
for health and financial reasons.
Impractible for health reasons. it
would prevent students from get-ting
fresh air, causing them to
become puny.
The negative side's counter pro-posal
contained the idea that storm
coats and caps be issued to all
those attending Bethel, for in this
way students could keep warm and
still get the needed fresh air. A
further advantage to this plan
would be increased enrollment of
students who needed storm coats.
The affirmative answered their
opponent's statement of impractica-bility
on the financial angle by
stating that their plan included
having "Little Malmsten" (Shine
Swanson) as their financial pro-moter,
adding that they had con-fidence
in him for financing the
project.
The negative team's response of,
"Now let us dig into this case,"
was the turning point of the de-bate,
for the affirmative charged
they were inferring to dig down,
and thereby supporting the con-struction
of a tunnel system.
After the debate was over, the
two ladies judging could not reach
a decision, because influenced by
coaching from the audience. The
audience then voted and the affir-mative
team won the decision by
a -slight margin.
Have you heard what is happening
soon,
In the Seminary Lounge by the
light of the moon?
It's on the 8th of May, for one and
all,
At 7:30 and it's not a dress ball.
It's Tau Sigma Pi's last meeting of
the year,
There's a humorous skit for you
to hear.
God has placed our eyes in our
foreheads and so we are all look-ing
forward. Life is uncertain but
its very uncertainty makes it in-interesting.
We know not what the
next moment will bring forth, and
that very fact keeps us on a plane
of high anticipation.
We are always looking ahead. In
class we are listening to the in-structor,
but in between those
thoughts we are thinking of what
we are going to do when the class
is over. There is always a tomor-row
that we trust will be a little
brighter than today.
Life is made up of little things.
So many drops in the ocean, so
many grains of sand; so many
words to be spoken, so many steps
on the road. It is pretty much made
up of small things after all, ana
yet tremendously important. A
great executive said that ninety-five
percent of his work was made
up of details.
But as we walk and work, we
look ahead. The freshman who, as
he unpacked his trunk to settle in
the dormitory, put a "V" over his
door — valedictorian — and he be-came
just that some four years
later. We just heard on the radio
that the new president of the Grey-hound
Bus Company began as a
bus driver only some twenty years
ago, and the president of the Bell
Telephone system was an ordinary
workman not so long ago. _
But the secret of progress is to
hold the vision clear and then to
strive and perserve to attain that
vision.
Phillips Brooks, addressing a
group of high school boys in ,Bos-ton,
put this question to them:
"What kind of man do you want
to be at forty? Do you want to be
intelligent and well-read, kind and
benevolent, strong of character
and purpose? Get the picture clear
—and then begin now to be just
that kind of boy or you will not
be that kind of man at forty."
And then the summum bonum or
high goal of it all. An older man
conversing with a younger man on
a train led in the following dia-logue:
"What are your plans for the
future?"
"I am going to study law."
"And then what?"
" I plan to practice law."
"And then what?"
"I hope to get married and have
a happy home."
"And then what?"
"I hope to make success and ac-cumulate
some money."
"And then what?"
"I suppose I will retire."
"And then what?" When the
murderous king intimated to Ham-let
that the latter did not know his
diabolical plans, Hamlet replied, "I
see a cherub that sees them."
There is One who knows and
plans our future, and is so willing
and able to lead—if we only follow.
How true it is that there is nothing
more beautiful under heaven than
the yielded life.

As the Axe Is Ground
Essay On Relevancy
by Ancient Alex
Yesterday I saw my neighbor out weeding her lawn and getting it
ready for spring. That was alright as long as the price of gasoline
remains constant at 21.9c. However, our chicken has two left legs and
this affects the price of coconut oil in Siberia in and inverse ratio
to the amount of Vitamin D in pasteurized goat milk.
I pointed out this discrepancy to the head life guard who agreed
that the Chinese yen would never replace the cyclotron in aeronautical
design. Of course, he was a relative of mine and this was the reason for
the sudden increase in the price of wooden barrel heads.
But the jib sail was still intact and this enabled Senator McCarthy
to uncover his latest bit of evidence in the "Little Red Riding Wolf"
trial. This led to doubt among members of the Tanganyika City Council
and Paris fashions came out in 1936 with a lowered hemline just two
inches above the ankle, which pleased all the men.
Now I am led further down the road of Socialism (from which there
is no return) because storm windows hawe been replaced by organge
juice concentrate. But the invoice was approved by Duncan Hines so
who was I to hold out for an increase in my yacht rental fee from
the International Harvester Company? This left my late grandmother
in quite a predicament because although she was only four feet and
six inches, now her husband was widower than she was.
Now you are perfectly within your rights when you say that I am
no longer entitled to sing "Down By The Old Mill Stream" with the
canaries of Hartz mountain.
But this overlooks the fact that Dean Carlson is not afflicted with
the, malady known as pessimisanthrophy and that the well-known anal.
gesic, sodium acetylsalicilate, does not operate in the realm of tricycle
physics. Nevertheless, I am convinced of the veracity of the orangutang
while at the same time subscribing to a philosophy of indeterminate
determinism when the lives of wharf rats are involved.
So I must of necessity conclude that when spring comes, we will
see a radical change in rubber-tipped pencils which will defy any ex-planation
on the basis that mother's cookies are far superior to the
Yellow Cab system in this country. I really hope that you can see
why my logical case of appendicitis will not allow me to forfeit the
precious privilege of breathing air for such a measly reward as a one
thousand-dollar-a-month pension until I am ninety five months of age.
Of course, you are entitled to your own opinion but after you have
observed all the facts I am sure that you will see that this country,
or any other country, for that mattter, cannot expect any relief from
thumb tacks or syntax until South America and the venetian blond
industry settle their differences at the point of conflict, namely, the
use of waste paper as women's hats in Buhl, Idaho.

Indians Play on Worthington Diamond Tonight
Meet Concordia
At Como Tues .
Opener Brings Bethel Victory
Over Luther Nine, 5-3
Opening it's nine game schedule with a win, Bethel downed Luther
Junior College, of New Ulm, Minn., 5-3. The game was played at Como
Park on April 22, 1950.
After a shaky first inning, in which the visitors scored twice and
took the lead, Bud Eklof, Indian hurler, settled down to pitch good ball
for the remaining eight innings. Meanwhile, the Indians jumped on the
Luther hurler for a fourth inning 3 run outburst, which substantiated
the Bethel victory.
The Luther team was not slow in
starting the first inning as they
combined one hit with two walks
and an error by Gordon Johnson,
Bethel second sacker, to force two
runs over the plate. Bethel was un-able
to get going in their first
frame. Gordon Johnson struck out,
and Delmar Johnson, third base.
man for the Indians, flied out to
the short-stop. Harold Wertz, short-stop
for the Bethel team, connected
for a double, but was left on
second when first baseman Ken
Greenman popped out to short,
closing the inning.
Backed up by a fast double play
completed by his team mates, Bud
Eklof had little trouble putting the
Luther team down in the second
inning. In the Indians' half of the
inning, their first run crossed the
plate. Catcher Bud Pierce had re-tired
as his long fly to center field
was hauled low; but, Danny
Bloom destined to score the first
run, poked a single between first
and second bases, and topped it
off by stealing second. As Bloom
waited on second, his teammates
Ed Carlson struck out and Ted
Johnson drew a base on balls. Next
up was Bud Eklof who smashed
out a hit to score Bloom. Gordy
Johnson grounded out, ending the
second inning.
The third inning found the Lu-ther
team scoring their final run
of the game on two hits, one being
a double slugged out by their
catcher. Bethel also added another
run in the third resulting from an
• error, a walk, a fielder's choice,
and Bud Pierce's long fly whicri
made the runner tag up on third
and then beat the throw to home
plate.
The Indian's big inning came in
their half of the fourth when three
runners rallied ,across the plate.
The only run that was earned in
this inning was that one caused by
Delmar Johnson's hit. The other
two resulted from three errors on
the part of Luther's third base,
man.
The remainder of the game was
more of a pitcher's battle rather
than a contest with the bat. The
closing of the fourth inning marked
the last frame in which any runs
appeared. Totals of the game in-cluded
10 hits allowed by Bethel
hurler Eklof as against only 6 hits
batted out against the two Luther
pitchers who shared the mound.
Two of the Bethel hits were dou-bles
banged out by Harold Werts
and Ed Carlson.

roles in presenting a program be-fore
a Community Boys and Girls
Club at the Eastern Heights Bap-tist
Church of St. Paul. Members
of the team participated in both a
devotional period as well as the
team's general routine of acrobatic
acts.
The evening began by a devotion-al
meeting led oy gymnast Paul
Dubuque, who opened by introduc-ing
the group of gymnasts to the
Community Club and explaining
the physical and spiritual purposes
of hils team. Two testimonies of
Christian experiences were then
given by Ken Gunman and Dave
Tuttle, after which Marlin Nelson
accompanied himself on his guitar
and sang a hymn which he desig-nated
to represent his Christian
testimony. Again testimonies were
given by Bob Earl and Curt Wik,
being followed by a vocal solo by
Paul Dubuque. After another testi-mony,
given by Harold Kickbush,
Marlin Nelson played and sang an-other
song and the time of devo-tions
was ended.
In the last half of the meeting,
the squad laid out their mats on
the floor of the church basement,
and as some fifty boys and girls
crowded around them, they pre-sented
their gymnastic routine.
consisting of backward and for-ward
rolls, flips, dives, balances,
and pyramids. Upon their return to
the campus, Paul Dubuque stated
that it appeared to him that the
type of program they presented
commanded much attention and in-terest
from the young children.

In the Iowa game, the Illinois
nine went ahead 3-0 at the close
of the first inning. In the top of the
second inning, Dick Bandy, and
Bill Nickel crosed the plate to put
the Illinois team ahead 5-0, but
when the Iowa team had their
chance, their first run was scored
by Hogan. Two big innings follow-ed
for I llinois as they scored 5 runs
in both the 3rd and 4th innings.
Those crossing the plate were Phil
Carlson, Dick Bandy, G. Visell, B.
Nickel, Harley Stuhl, Warren Fred-ericks,
and Ralph Bennett.
In the Iowa half of the 3rd, left
fielder Bob Daley, and catcher Fen
Swanson made the rounds to score
2 runs for that inning. The biggest
inning for the Iowans came in the
last of the 4th when Shine Swan-son,
third baseman, Carr, short-stop,
and F. Swanson, catcher scor-ed
to make Iowa's last scores of
the game.
Neither Iowa nor Illinois scored
in the fifth inning. The victorious
Illinois team banged out 8 hits as
compared to 6 hits for the Iowans.
In their victory over the North-
South Minnesota team, the Illinois
nine made the circuit 24 times re-sulting
from 12 hits. In an attempt
to curb the Illinois power, three
pitchers took the mound for the
M innesota team ; first being Dick
Nelson, second Vern Steinbach, and
last, Tom Drury.
The Illinois pitcher, Ralph Ben-nett
stayed in the box the entire
game and allowed his opponents
only 6 hits.
Tonight marks the first out of
town baseball competition that the
Indians participate in this season.
They travel to Worthington Junior
College in a night game. This will
be the only time the two teams
will face each other this season.
Rainy weather for the past week-and-
a-half has hampered Indian
practice and necessitated the can-ceiling
of the Concordia and
Northwestern home games.
CONCORDIA GAME
Coach Robert Sandin has an-nounced
that the cancelled Con-cordia
game will be played next
Tuesday afternoon, May the 9th, at
Como Park diamond No. 1.
FUTURE GAMES
Next Wednesday, May the 10th,
shows the Indians visitors to
Northwestern. On Saturday, May
the 13th, the Indians meet Bethany
Junior College, of Mankato, Minn.,
at Como Park. The local nine will
play on the Concordia diamond,
Tuesday, May the 16th, (Concordia
of St. Paul). No date has been
set for the cancelled Northwestern
game that was supposed to have
been played last Tuesday).
Bud Pierce Wins
Ping Pong Title
Bud Pierce, Bethel basketball
and baseball player, appeared cool
nerved last Wednesday afternoon,
as he downed Bill Nickel four
games straight in the Intramural
ping-pong tournament, to become
ping-pong champion. The event con-sisted
of a four out of seven game
match and Pierce took the shortest
ix ay to victory by not letting Nick-el
get one victory.
The first game ended in a duce
which w a s tediously waded
through to 23-21 in Pierce's favor.
Nickel's second defeat found him
way behind 21-11, and he fell 21-17
in the third, and a close final de-feat
of 21-19.
Illinois Tops Iowa, Minn.,
To Take Intramural Lead
The Illinois Intramural soft ball team has participated in the first
two games of the Spring tourney and has gained uncontested control
of first place, beating the Iowa-Platt Valley team last Monday, 15-6,
and by topping No.-So. Minnesota, 24-5, last Wednesday. The weakness
of both losing teams appeared in the pitching box. The Iowans display-ed
good hitting ability and in fielding the ball made only two errors,
however between pitchers Miller and F. Swanson, sufficient strength
Sports Sketch against the batters was lacking.
Ted Johnson, right fielder on this
year's Indian baseball team, is well-known
to all Bethel sports en-thusiasts;
for Johnson, who gradu-ated
from Lane Tech high school,
Chicago, without participating in
any varsity sports, is a three-letter
man this year, having earned let-
, ters in football as a halfback, and
in basketball as a guard, as well
as in baseball as right fielder.
Gospel team work also consumes
much of Ted's energy, for behind
the pulpit the one hundred and
seventy pound athlete is as fiery
and forceful as when engaged in
any physical sport duel. Not only
are his talents used behind the
pulpit, but Ted. whose chief in-terest
is the spiritual welfare of
the youth 'of the United States,
spends much time in boys club
work.
The twenty-one year old sopho-more's
future is planned around
youth work. Majoring in speech
and minoring in physical educa-tion,
Ted plans to attend Northern
Illinois Teacher's College next year
but will return to Bethel for his
seminary work. Then — full-time
youth work.
Ted's attitude toward sports and
his competition in them reflects
very well his attitude toward life.
He says, "All the training and dis-cipline
involved in sports at Bethel
is of little value except in terms of
what can be done for Christ. Main-taining
a testimony for the Lord
in sports is what counts. Although
some of my greatest thrills have
come on the football field or on the
basketball court, gospel team work
provides opportunities for even
greater thrills — such as talking
with an individual about his re-lationship
to the Lord Jesus Christ
—and even for the greatest thrill
in any Christian's life—to lead a
soul to the knowledge and ac-ceptance
of salvation."

Street Meetings Set for
Tomorrow in Forest Lake
Many Bethel students have ac-cepted
the challenge to "go forth
into the highways and byways and
compel them to come in" with Earl
Glader heading up the spring
street meetings of the school.
The next meeting is scheduled
for tomorrow at Forest Lake, the
following Saturday at Cambridge
and the final one at an undeter-mined
place.
Meetings begin in the college
chapel at 7:00 p.m. with prayer.
After this the group teams and
volunteers journey to the meeting
place and begin the song service
and musical numbers, assisted by
a new public-addres system. The
service continues with a short mes-sage,
testimonies, personal work
and tract distribution. In Cam-bridge
several local churches are
expected to assist.
Earl Glader invites all students
to join in prayer for this ministry
and to assist in these meetings.
The first meeting was planned for
April 30 at White Bear, but incle-ment
weather conditions prevent-ed
it.

Progressive Discussion Group
held its third annual banquet at
Weber's Restaurant the evening
of May 1. The meeting was attend-ed
by twenty-two members, visitors
and faculty as the group held its
first stag banquet.
The speaker of the evening was
Mr. Victor Walters, political sci-ence
professor, who spoke on the
topic, "The Visible Church—Body
or Corpse?" Mr. Bob Otto, adviser
for the group, outlined the purpose
of such an organization on campus
and Perry Hedberg presented a
brief resume of the year's activi-ties.
Prefacing his speech with a few
remarks on Christian education.
Mr. Walters presented the need for
a consistent Christianity within the
framework of existing institutions.

"Thy Word is like a garden"
was the central theme of the an-nual
B.W.A. Spring Banquet held
Wednesday evening, May 3, in the

were decoratively placed through-out
the room and on the tables,
giving accent to a Springtime at-mosphere.
Following the roast turkey din-ner,
a program honoring the grad-uating
sophomores and seniors was
presented. Each graduate gave her
testimony, felling about her years
at Bethel and her plans for next
year, or presenting a poem or de-votional
thought. Testimonies from
some graduates were in the form
of musical renditions which added
variety to the program.
As a part of the program of the
evening, candlelight installation
ceremony for next year's B.W.A.
officers was held. The new officers
installed were: president, Bobbe

Bethel Male Chorus is making plans for a tour of Pacific Coast
states beginning May 29. The 22-voice chorus will take three weeks to
complete the trip which will begin with a concert at Spokane, Washing-ton
and finish in San Diego, California on June 15.
The chorus will be assisted in its concert program by Mr. Valdeko
Kangro and Mr. Kaljo Raid who will present selections on violin and
cello. Also participating in the program will be the Courier Male Quartet,
Bob Mantzke, baritone soloist, and an instrumental trio composed of Don
Peterson, Dave Englund and Elmin Forsell. Al Anthony is the accompanist.
Under the direction of Mr. Nels Stjernstrom, the chorus will give
a varied program of sacred numbers and spirituals including "To Thee
We Sing", "Onward Ye People", "Den Store Hvide Flok", and Fred
Waring's arrangement of "Onward Christian Soldiers."
This will be the first year that a chorus has taken a tour in the
summer and the trip also represents the first visit to the West Coast
by any Bethel choir. Dates have not been definitely set but the tour
will include the following cities and towns:
Spokane, Bellingham, Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma, Washington; Warren
and Portland, Oregon; Oakland, San Francisco, Turlock, Kingsburg, Los
Angeles, Pasadena, Yucaipa and San Diego, California.
Generous Bethelites Give Over
Five Hundred Articles of Clothing
The articles acquired during the collection for Mr. Chanco's jungle
school, are a material monument to the generosity of Bethelites. Many
items in perfect condition evidenced a sacrifice on the part of the givers.
Approximately 300 pieces of women's apparel were donated, includ-ing
skirts, sweaters, blouses, dresses, suits and numerous articles of
underclothing. From Bethel men came 250 or more shirts, trousers, sport
coats and jackets.

families for this event on May 8, 9.
A guest speaker will lead in
periods of Biblical discussion and
devotional meditation. The remain-der
of the time will be spent in
various forms of recreation.
Prof. Compton of Macalester
To Be Main Speaker of Evening
A viHt to the White Pine Inn at Bayport, Minnesota is convincing
e.lou•h That this year's graduation banquet will be the best yet. With
Hoe tree surroundings and quaint interior, the Inn is most inviting.
Lail t in a colonial style, the White Pine Inn is a landmark near the
of the St. Croix river and is picturesque with its white pillared
oce . ch.
The program for next Friday evening will find Professor Bruce
Compton of the philosophy depart-ment
of Macalester College as the
speaker. He has been used by the
Inter-varsity groups in the state
and is of intellectual and spiritual
acclaim.
Bob Mantzke's quartette includ-ing
Bob, Ted Van Der Veer, Jack
Anderson and Bill Anderson will
be providing special music for in-spiration
and entertainment. The
banquet committee has given their
assurance that the program will
cease, allowing ample time for ex-tra-
J. S. activities before the dorm
deadline rolls around.
Fine cooperation has been re-ceived
from Mr. Jim Olson, mana-ger
of the White Pine Inn. The Inn
can be found by following Highway
36 east to Bayport. Watch for the
billboard with further directions as
to where to make a right turn
which can be taken directly to the
front door of the White Pine Inn.
Ample parking space is near the
entrance.
Tennessee Evangelist
to Speak at Commencement
Baccalaureate in College Chapel
with Rev. Thompson Speaking May 21
Dr. Robert G. Lee, a distinguished author, pastor, and evangelist
of Memphis, Tennessee will deliver the commencement address to the
1950 graduating classes on Friday, May 26.
On the preceding Sunday, Rev. Lester Thompson of Muskegon,
Michigan will give the baccalaure-ate
sermon in the College Chapel.
The commencement exercises
this year are being held at the
First Baptist Church of Minne-apolis
starting at 7:30 P.M. A half
hour musical featuring the Eston-ian
musicians, Valdeko Kangro.
and Kaijo Raid, with Dr. Howard .
Smith at the pipe organ will pre-ceed
the graduation exercises. The
procession of the graduating class-es
will follow at 8 o'clock. During
the graduation Bethel's three
choral groups, the Male Chorus, the
Girls Chorus, and the Chapel Choir
will sing. The presentation of the
degrees will follow the main ad-dress
by Dr. Robert G. Lee.
President Wingblade thought the
school was very fortunate in se-curing
Dr. Robert Lee. Due to his
v ery busy schedule he will be fly- .
ing both to and from the Cities
in order to make this engagement.
The baccalaureate service at
4:00 P.M. on May 21, will be held
in the College Chapel. The Chapel

Top Six Seniors
To Be Guests At
Court of Honor
Bethel's top six Senior honor
students, the President and other
representatives will be guests at
the Court of Honor Banquet spon-sored
by the St. Paul Junior Cham-ber

Kleinsasser, Ralph Larson, and
Beverly Lewis.
The speaker of the evening will
be Dr. Samuel Nowell Stevens, who
is President of Grinnell College.
All the St. Paul colleges take
part in this event. This is the
second -annual participation for
Bethel since becoming a four year
college.
Bethel Experiments
Still an experimental occasion,
the game night scheduled for Sat-urday
evening, if successful may
become a weekly affair next year.
The need for social activities on
Bethel campus will thus be taken
care of for the week-end of May 6.
An active committee, headed by Al
Windham, Hal Lundberg, Ron
Johnson and Lois Redin has ar-ranged
the game night which will
be held in the boys' recreation
room.
The fellowship of that evening
will be informal and is open to the
entire student body. Students are
free to come and go as they wish
between the hours of 8 and 11 p.m.
Games will be provided, such as
volley ball, ping-pong, handball, as
well as the conventional checkers,
monopoly and other games.
About 150 pairs of shoes found
their way into the collection. Cloth-ing
and shoes for infants, plus a
miscellany of purses, scarves, hats,
belts, socks, towels and 12 winter
coats, were also contributed.
In the line of clothing for the
mind, some 50 or more books texts,
and commentaries, 15 Bibles, 25
New Testaments, and perhaps 400
magazines (both sacred and secu-lar),
S. S. lesson leaflets and devo-tional
literature was given.
All this will be packed for ship-ping
in 2x3x4' heavy wooden boxes,
lined with waterproof paper and
shipped before exam time. The
designated 25% of the Missionary
Band surplus offering will pay ship-merit
costs.
The students responsible for or-ganizing
and carrying through this
project are Marilyn • Kortum, Mar-garet
Sheffler, Fred Baty, Marvin
Gunnarson, Mike Malone, Harley
Stuhl and Professor Bohne.
Sem Juniors
and Middlemen
Honor Seniors
Juniors and middlemen of the
Seminary held their annual Spring
Banquet on May 4 in honor of the
graduating senior s. Background
was provided by Dayton's Red
Room.
Earl Van der Veer acted as toast-master
and Dr. Robert Smith of
Dubuque University, Dubuque, Iowa
was the guest speaker. The class
will and prophecy were read. Vocal
soloists for the occasion were Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Bodin. Carol Land-berg

The tables were attractively de-corated
and the theme of the even-ing
was "To Know Him and To

Sounds From the Banquet Hall
by Harold Lind
On the Burner
Merchandise Mart
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY
FOR. In other words, you can't
purchase the best goods at medi-ocre
prices.
But some things are so valuable
that they cannot be evaluated in
money alone. Knowledge is one of
these. And Bethel's business com-modity
is "knowledge FROM A
CHRISTIAN STANDPOINT."
We buy it at the beginning of
each quarter and a conscientious
faculty, believing we mean busi-ness,
comes rain or shine, day after
day to open new avenues of learn-ing
where we may find the Truth
of God and the wisdom of men. -
The cost of a good education is
admittedly high. Yet, we seem bent
upon attending as few classes as
possible and "slipping by" some-bow.
In no other society are peo-ple
so eager to get less than their
money's worth. Illness assails many
at exam time or when a term paper
is due. A bright spring day will
lure others away from four or five
class hours they have already pur-chased.
Some sit in class scarcely
heeding lectures they elected and
paid for a few weeks earlier.
Why illness and lack of driving
power should exist in individuals
filled with the zest and strength
of youth is probably a mystery to
the teaching staff. Whoever heard
of a professor discontinuing an
eight o'clock class so that he could
sleep later in the mornings?
By the way . . . have you cut
classes lately?
Welcome back girls. (A look at
Don Peterson's face was all that
was necessary to inform us that
the Girls' Chorus had arrived.) We
can plainly see (flash, sparkle,
flash!) that the trip proved suc-cessful
as well as profitable for
most of the chorus members. At
least they all acquired third-finger
left hand sparklers, or so it ap-pears.
Aleen Lindquist would say, "We
found everything from smoked her-ring
to diamond rings on the trip."
The girls wore their rings at every
concert, and on one occasion Joan
Everburg was gently stroking her
hair in order that she might "show
off" her diamond, when suddenly
she looked down at her hand and
noticed that the stone was gone.
That "shows to go" that accidents
can be embarrassing at the right
times.
Nels Stjernstrom, always willing
to have fun, bought a diamond, to-o.
Now he uses his left hand pre-dominantly
for directing. All these
"genuine" gems caused no little as-tonishment
among churches visited
on the tour. IMAGINE that many
Bethel girls engaged! But then,
with 25 or so Bethelite weddings
scheduled for this summer, maybe,
it isn't so hard to imagine, after
all.
A week from today is the biggest
event of the entire school year.
There's no student too "broke" to
miss the J.S. Banquet. Fella, give
that gal a break. She'd like to go.
It's up to you to ask her.
The Speech Banquet was held
last Friday night at the Hospitality
House in Minneapolis,. with Louis
Nelson as the Toastmaster. We had
a word of prayer and then sat
down to a delicious meal, topped
off with fresh apple pie.
An after-dinner speech by Harold
Lind was the first thing on the
porgram. He remarked that Louis
Nelson was playing ball the other
Notes and Noise
on the
Chapel Choir Trip
by Jim Hubbard
Six states in ten days!—that's
what faced the energetic Bethelites
who boarded a Greyhound bus the
morning of April 14. Designated as
the Bethel Chapel Choir, they were
ready to leave on a concert tour
which would take them through
Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colora-do,
South Dakota and back to Min-nesota.
The bus driver, Wayne
Quinn and his trusty bus were to
be the medium of acomplishment.
It seems that in every choir
there are those certain individuals
that make things move continuous-ly.
Bob Stassen„ his red, bright red,
sombrero and his plastic ukelele
seemed to be the pivot point of all
the mischief and merry-making on
the trip. From early morning (and
early it was, for on some mornings
it was necessary to arise at 4:30
or 5 a.m.) to late afternoon, all
that was heard above the growl of
the dog, (Greyhound, that is) was
the twang of a certain out-of-tune
ukelele and the twang of a certain
out-of-tune supposedly bass voice.
Very often other stellar voices
would join in until the din was al-most
deafening. When it came to
high class music it was the Boo-wah
boys that brought down the
house. This is a group composed of
Gordy Berg, Deane Shaffer, Jim
Young, Bob Stassen, Ron Johnson,
and Paul Thompson, etc. Several
of the young men of the choir grac-ed
their already handsome selves
with a variety of straw and felt
hats.
Little Audrey Eckdahl made
a hit with her renditions of a
certain aria from the opera, "La
Traviata." Marianne Ostrom loved
to paint throats and became quite
an expert with all the experience
that she had on the trip. In most
every town that the choir stopped,
Charlie Lindberg was found talk-ing
to some new girl, especially in
Denver. Jo Ann Johnson has an
aspiration to be a bubble. Claryce
Skoog got the fattest letters while
on tour. Have you met Paul "Hy-man
Malmstein" Thompson yet—?
Many things happened on this trip
that each member will remember
for years to come. Nicknames,
jokes, etc. . . . all things worked
together to give the choir a won-derful
trip.
Above all was the spiritual bles-sing
of the trip. The morning de-votions
with the pastors of the
churches, the quiet time on the
bus, the half-hour prayer service
be fore• each concert, the fellow-ship
around the dinning table, and
the fellowship in the Christian
homes that were visited, were all
places where the choir was streng-thened
spiritually. The Lord has
blessed the Chapel Choir. The
Chapel Choir has been a blessing
singing in the churches and places
where it has ministered in song.
Therefore we can say that because
the choir was blessed and a bless-ing
the tour of 1950 was a success.
day, got hit on the head with a
baseball and was taken to the hos-pital.
The next day the reports
was in the paper as follows: St.
Paul: While playing ball on Bethel
College and Seminary field, Louis
Nelson got struck by a ball on the
right temple that knocked him
cold. He was taken to Midway
hospital. X-ray pictures of Louis'
head showed nothing."
Next on the program was Henry
Nelson who gave an oration on
"Displaced Persons." Of course you
know what Oratery is: ORATORY
IS THE ART OF MAKING DEEP
NOISES FROM THE CHEST
SOUND LIKE IMPORTANT MES-SAGES
FROM THE BRAIN."
Then Wendell Anderson gave a
short speech and told us how
"Nine out of ten women think
'counterattack' has something to
do with a bargin sale." He went
on to tell us that when Louis
Nelson was born, the stork that
brought him was given a ticket for
peddling dope.
Then an impromptu debate fol
lowed, on the topic: "Resolved
That A Tunnel System Be Con-structed
On Bethel Campus Con-necting
the Buildings." The affir-mative
team were Mr. Schultz and
Bob Daley. The negative team con-sisted
of Mr. Berntsen. and Curtis
Johnson.
The affirmative contended that
their program would be practical in
reducing the colds on the campus.
They said that at the present when
a student approached a pond on
our campnus, he either swims,
drowns or turns back. With the
proposed elaberate tunnel program
this time of indecision could be
reduced and spent in thinking
about that next exam they have to
cram for. Furthermore, they sug-gested
that there be a door at both
ends of the tunnel mainly for the
purpose of keeping fellows out of
the draft, thereby keeping more
fellows here at Bethel.
In rebuttal, the negative stated
the program would be impossible
for health and financial reasons.
Impractible for health reasons. it
would prevent students from get-ting
fresh air, causing them to
become puny.
The negative side's counter pro-posal
contained the idea that storm
coats and caps be issued to all
those attending Bethel, for in this
way students could keep warm and
still get the needed fresh air. A
further advantage to this plan
would be increased enrollment of
students who needed storm coats.
The affirmative answered their
opponent's statement of impractica-bility
on the financial angle by
stating that their plan included
having "Little Malmsten" (Shine
Swanson) as their financial pro-moter,
adding that they had con-fidence
in him for financing the
project.
The negative team's response of,
"Now let us dig into this case,"
was the turning point of the de-bate,
for the affirmative charged
they were inferring to dig down,
and thereby supporting the con-struction
of a tunnel system.
After the debate was over, the
two ladies judging could not reach
a decision, because influenced by
coaching from the audience. The
audience then voted and the affir-mative
team won the decision by
a -slight margin.
Have you heard what is happening
soon,
In the Seminary Lounge by the
light of the moon?
It's on the 8th of May, for one and
all,
At 7:30 and it's not a dress ball.
It's Tau Sigma Pi's last meeting of
the year,
There's a humorous skit for you
to hear.
God has placed our eyes in our
foreheads and so we are all look-ing
forward. Life is uncertain but
its very uncertainty makes it in-interesting.
We know not what the
next moment will bring forth, and
that very fact keeps us on a plane
of high anticipation.
We are always looking ahead. In
class we are listening to the in-structor,
but in between those
thoughts we are thinking of what
we are going to do when the class
is over. There is always a tomor-row
that we trust will be a little
brighter than today.
Life is made up of little things.
So many drops in the ocean, so
many grains of sand; so many
words to be spoken, so many steps
on the road. It is pretty much made
up of small things after all, ana
yet tremendously important. A
great executive said that ninety-five
percent of his work was made
up of details.
But as we walk and work, we
look ahead. The freshman who, as
he unpacked his trunk to settle in
the dormitory, put a "V" over his
door — valedictorian — and he be-came
just that some four years
later. We just heard on the radio
that the new president of the Grey-hound
Bus Company began as a
bus driver only some twenty years
ago, and the president of the Bell
Telephone system was an ordinary
workman not so long ago. _
But the secret of progress is to
hold the vision clear and then to
strive and perserve to attain that
vision.
Phillips Brooks, addressing a
group of high school boys in ,Bos-ton,
put this question to them:
"What kind of man do you want
to be at forty? Do you want to be
intelligent and well-read, kind and
benevolent, strong of character
and purpose? Get the picture clear
—and then begin now to be just
that kind of boy or you will not
be that kind of man at forty."
And then the summum bonum or
high goal of it all. An older man
conversing with a younger man on
a train led in the following dia-logue:
"What are your plans for the
future?"
"I am going to study law."
"And then what?"
" I plan to practice law."
"And then what?"
"I hope to get married and have
a happy home."
"And then what?"
"I hope to make success and ac-cumulate
some money."
"And then what?"
"I suppose I will retire."
"And then what?" When the
murderous king intimated to Ham-let
that the latter did not know his
diabolical plans, Hamlet replied, "I
see a cherub that sees them."
There is One who knows and
plans our future, and is so willing
and able to lead—if we only follow.
How true it is that there is nothing
more beautiful under heaven than
the yielded life.

As the Axe Is Ground
Essay On Relevancy
by Ancient Alex
Yesterday I saw my neighbor out weeding her lawn and getting it
ready for spring. That was alright as long as the price of gasoline
remains constant at 21.9c. However, our chicken has two left legs and
this affects the price of coconut oil in Siberia in and inverse ratio
to the amount of Vitamin D in pasteurized goat milk.
I pointed out this discrepancy to the head life guard who agreed
that the Chinese yen would never replace the cyclotron in aeronautical
design. Of course, he was a relative of mine and this was the reason for
the sudden increase in the price of wooden barrel heads.
But the jib sail was still intact and this enabled Senator McCarthy
to uncover his latest bit of evidence in the "Little Red Riding Wolf"
trial. This led to doubt among members of the Tanganyika City Council
and Paris fashions came out in 1936 with a lowered hemline just two
inches above the ankle, which pleased all the men.
Now I am led further down the road of Socialism (from which there
is no return) because storm windows hawe been replaced by organge
juice concentrate. But the invoice was approved by Duncan Hines so
who was I to hold out for an increase in my yacht rental fee from
the International Harvester Company? This left my late grandmother
in quite a predicament because although she was only four feet and
six inches, now her husband was widower than she was.
Now you are perfectly within your rights when you say that I am
no longer entitled to sing "Down By The Old Mill Stream" with the
canaries of Hartz mountain.
But this overlooks the fact that Dean Carlson is not afflicted with
the, malady known as pessimisanthrophy and that the well-known anal.
gesic, sodium acetylsalicilate, does not operate in the realm of tricycle
physics. Nevertheless, I am convinced of the veracity of the orangutang
while at the same time subscribing to a philosophy of indeterminate
determinism when the lives of wharf rats are involved.
So I must of necessity conclude that when spring comes, we will
see a radical change in rubber-tipped pencils which will defy any ex-planation
on the basis that mother's cookies are far superior to the
Yellow Cab system in this country. I really hope that you can see
why my logical case of appendicitis will not allow me to forfeit the
precious privilege of breathing air for such a measly reward as a one
thousand-dollar-a-month pension until I am ninety five months of age.
Of course, you are entitled to your own opinion but after you have
observed all the facts I am sure that you will see that this country,
or any other country, for that mattter, cannot expect any relief from
thumb tacks or syntax until South America and the venetian blond
industry settle their differences at the point of conflict, namely, the
use of waste paper as women's hats in Buhl, Idaho.

Indians Play on Worthington Diamond Tonight
Meet Concordia
At Como Tues .
Opener Brings Bethel Victory
Over Luther Nine, 5-3
Opening it's nine game schedule with a win, Bethel downed Luther
Junior College, of New Ulm, Minn., 5-3. The game was played at Como
Park on April 22, 1950.
After a shaky first inning, in which the visitors scored twice and
took the lead, Bud Eklof, Indian hurler, settled down to pitch good ball
for the remaining eight innings. Meanwhile, the Indians jumped on the
Luther hurler for a fourth inning 3 run outburst, which substantiated
the Bethel victory.
The Luther team was not slow in
starting the first inning as they
combined one hit with two walks
and an error by Gordon Johnson,
Bethel second sacker, to force two
runs over the plate. Bethel was un-able
to get going in their first
frame. Gordon Johnson struck out,
and Delmar Johnson, third base.
man for the Indians, flied out to
the short-stop. Harold Wertz, short-stop
for the Bethel team, connected
for a double, but was left on
second when first baseman Ken
Greenman popped out to short,
closing the inning.
Backed up by a fast double play
completed by his team mates, Bud
Eklof had little trouble putting the
Luther team down in the second
inning. In the Indians' half of the
inning, their first run crossed the
plate. Catcher Bud Pierce had re-tired
as his long fly to center field
was hauled low; but, Danny
Bloom destined to score the first
run, poked a single between first
and second bases, and topped it
off by stealing second. As Bloom
waited on second, his teammates
Ed Carlson struck out and Ted
Johnson drew a base on balls. Next
up was Bud Eklof who smashed
out a hit to score Bloom. Gordy
Johnson grounded out, ending the
second inning.
The third inning found the Lu-ther
team scoring their final run
of the game on two hits, one being
a double slugged out by their
catcher. Bethel also added another
run in the third resulting from an
• error, a walk, a fielder's choice,
and Bud Pierce's long fly whicri
made the runner tag up on third
and then beat the throw to home
plate.
The Indian's big inning came in
their half of the fourth when three
runners rallied ,across the plate.
The only run that was earned in
this inning was that one caused by
Delmar Johnson's hit. The other
two resulted from three errors on
the part of Luther's third base,
man.
The remainder of the game was
more of a pitcher's battle rather
than a contest with the bat. The
closing of the fourth inning marked
the last frame in which any runs
appeared. Totals of the game in-cluded
10 hits allowed by Bethel
hurler Eklof as against only 6 hits
batted out against the two Luther
pitchers who shared the mound.
Two of the Bethel hits were dou-bles
banged out by Harold Werts
and Ed Carlson.

REV. HAROLD S. CARLSON, Pastor
Gymnastic Stunts
Part of Gymnasts'
Gospel team work
On Friday night, April the 28tir,
the Bethel tumbling acted in two
roles in presenting a program be-fore
a Community Boys and Girls
Club at the Eastern Heights Bap-tist
Church of St. Paul. Members
of the team participated in both a
devotional period as well as the
team's general routine of acrobatic
acts.
The evening began by a devotion-al
meeting led oy gymnast Paul
Dubuque, who opened by introduc-ing
the group of gymnasts to the
Community Club and explaining
the physical and spiritual purposes
of hils team. Two testimonies of
Christian experiences were then
given by Ken Gunman and Dave
Tuttle, after which Marlin Nelson
accompanied himself on his guitar
and sang a hymn which he desig-nated
to represent his Christian
testimony. Again testimonies were
given by Bob Earl and Curt Wik,
being followed by a vocal solo by
Paul Dubuque. After another testi-mony,
given by Harold Kickbush,
Marlin Nelson played and sang an-other
song and the time of devo-tions
was ended.
In the last half of the meeting,
the squad laid out their mats on
the floor of the church basement,
and as some fifty boys and girls
crowded around them, they pre-sented
their gymnastic routine.
consisting of backward and for-ward
rolls, flips, dives, balances,
and pyramids. Upon their return to
the campus, Paul Dubuque stated
that it appeared to him that the
type of program they presented
commanded much attention and in-terest
from the young children.

In the Iowa game, the Illinois
nine went ahead 3-0 at the close
of the first inning. In the top of the
second inning, Dick Bandy, and
Bill Nickel crosed the plate to put
the Illinois team ahead 5-0, but
when the Iowa team had their
chance, their first run was scored
by Hogan. Two big innings follow-ed
for I llinois as they scored 5 runs
in both the 3rd and 4th innings.
Those crossing the plate were Phil
Carlson, Dick Bandy, G. Visell, B.
Nickel, Harley Stuhl, Warren Fred-ericks,
and Ralph Bennett.
In the Iowa half of the 3rd, left
fielder Bob Daley, and catcher Fen
Swanson made the rounds to score
2 runs for that inning. The biggest
inning for the Iowans came in the
last of the 4th when Shine Swan-son,
third baseman, Carr, short-stop,
and F. Swanson, catcher scor-ed
to make Iowa's last scores of
the game.
Neither Iowa nor Illinois scored
in the fifth inning. The victorious
Illinois team banged out 8 hits as
compared to 6 hits for the Iowans.
In their victory over the North-
South Minnesota team, the Illinois
nine made the circuit 24 times re-sulting
from 12 hits. In an attempt
to curb the Illinois power, three
pitchers took the mound for the
M innesota team ; first being Dick
Nelson, second Vern Steinbach, and
last, Tom Drury.
The Illinois pitcher, Ralph Ben-nett
stayed in the box the entire
game and allowed his opponents
only 6 hits.
Tonight marks the first out of
town baseball competition that the
Indians participate in this season.
They travel to Worthington Junior
College in a night game. This will
be the only time the two teams
will face each other this season.
Rainy weather for the past week-and-
a-half has hampered Indian
practice and necessitated the can-ceiling
of the Concordia and
Northwestern home games.

Tuesday, May the 16th, (Concordia
of St. Paul). No date has been
set for the cancelled Northwestern
game that was supposed to have
been played last Tuesday).
Bud Pierce Wins
Ping Pong Title
Bud Pierce, Bethel basketball
and baseball player, appeared cool
nerved last Wednesday afternoon,
as he downed Bill Nickel four
games straight in the Intramural
ping-pong tournament, to become
ping-pong champion. The event con-sisted
of a four out of seven game
match and Pierce took the shortest
ix ay to victory by not letting Nick-el
get one victory.
The first game ended in a duce
which w a s tediously waded
through to 23-21 in Pierce's favor.
Nickel's second defeat found him
way behind 21-11, and he fell 21-17
in the third, and a close final de-feat
of 21-19.
Illinois Tops Iowa, Minn.,
To Take Intramural Lead
The Illinois Intramural soft ball team has participated in the first
two games of the Spring tourney and has gained uncontested control
of first place, beating the Iowa-Platt Valley team last Monday, 15-6,
and by topping No.-So. Minnesota, 24-5, last Wednesday. The weakness
of both losing teams appeared in the pitching box. The Iowans display-ed
good hitting ability and in fielding the ball made only two errors,
however between pitchers Miller and F. Swanson, sufficient strength
Sports Sketch against the batters was lacking.
Ted Johnson, right fielder on this
year's Indian baseball team, is well-known
to all Bethel sports en-thusiasts;
for Johnson, who gradu-ated
from Lane Tech high school,
Chicago, without participating in
any varsity sports, is a three-letter
man this year, having earned let-
, ters in football as a halfback, and
in basketball as a guard, as well
as in baseball as right fielder.
Gospel team work also consumes
much of Ted's energy, for behind
the pulpit the one hundred and
seventy pound athlete is as fiery
and forceful as when engaged in
any physical sport duel. Not only
are his talents used behind the
pulpit, but Ted. whose chief in-terest
is the spiritual welfare of
the youth 'of the United States,
spends much time in boys club
work.
The twenty-one year old sopho-more's
future is planned around
youth work. Majoring in speech
and minoring in physical educa-tion,
Ted plans to attend Northern
Illinois Teacher's College next year
but will return to Bethel for his
seminary work. Then — full-time
youth work.
Ted's attitude toward sports and
his competition in them reflects
very well his attitude toward life.
He says, "All the training and dis-cipline
involved in sports at Bethel
is of little value except in terms of
what can be done for Christ. Main-taining
a testimony for the Lord
in sports is what counts. Although
some of my greatest thrills have
come on the football field or on the
basketball court, gospel team work
provides opportunities for even
greater thrills — such as talking
with an individual about his re-lationship
to the Lord Jesus Christ
—and even for the greatest thrill
in any Christian's life—to lead a
soul to the knowledge and ac-ceptance
of salvation."

Street Meetings Set for
Tomorrow in Forest Lake
Many Bethel students have ac-cepted
the challenge to "go forth
into the highways and byways and
compel them to come in" with Earl
Glader heading up the spring
street meetings of the school.
The next meeting is scheduled
for tomorrow at Forest Lake, the
following Saturday at Cambridge
and the final one at an undeter-mined
place.
Meetings begin in the college
chapel at 7:00 p.m. with prayer.
After this the group teams and
volunteers journey to the meeting
place and begin the song service
and musical numbers, assisted by
a new public-addres system. The
service continues with a short mes-sage,
testimonies, personal work
and tract distribution. In Cam-bridge
several local churches are
expected to assist.
Earl Glader invites all students
to join in prayer for this ministry
and to assist in these meetings.
The first meeting was planned for
April 30 at White Bear, but incle-ment
weather conditions prevent-ed
it.

was the central theme of the an-nual
B.W.A. Spring Banquet held
Wednesday evening, May 3, in the
dining hall. Pink and yellow daisies
were decoratively placed through-out
the room and on the tables,
giving accent to a Springtime at-mosphere.
Following the roast turkey din-ner,
a program honoring the grad-uating
sophomores and seniors was
presented. Each graduate gave her
testimony, felling about her years
at Bethel and her plans for next
year, or presenting a poem or de-votional
thought. Testimonies from
some graduates were in the form
of musical renditions which added
variety to the program.
As a part of the program of the
evening, candlelight installation
ceremony for next year's B.W.A.
officers was held. The new officers
installed were: president, Bobbe
Lou Cooper; vice- president, Irene
